鋼の錬金術師 BROTHERHOOD: Ep. 11
MEAN GIRLS (2004)
Damien saying "I know a guy" but it's just Marinette in various costumes
I have this idea that won't leave me alone, so I thought I'd share it so that others may be cursed with thinking about it too.
(This can be read as either sibling or dating Daminette)
Damien is all grown up and joined the Justice League as a permanent hero. Everyone knows he was Robin, so they think there won't be any surprises. Until there's a big mission and they need to infiltrate somewhere and plant cameras for evidence (or something). However, this place is a fortress (like the best anti-hero security money can buy) and the only way in is through the vents which are too small for humans to fit through.
The Justice League meeting turns into one big loud argument. Until Damien says, "I know a guy."
Obviously, he's very dodgy about his contact, but he says they can be trusted. Since, he's Robin, they let it slide.
The Justice League is all waiting at the contact spot when Marinette pulls up. They're confused, Damien is light-tipped, and she's in her multimouse ensemble looking all cute.
Marinette pulls off the mission then dips and Damien is stubborn even when Batman questions him. (Could be either good parent or bad parent Bruce Wayne).
Eventually, they let it drop. Until another big mission happens and they need a specific skill set and Damien says, "I know a guy." Cue Marinette with a different miraculous.
This keeps happening.
The Justice League assumes all the girls are different people and they're very confused like, "Robin, where do you keep finding these girls?"
Cue lots of half thought-out shenanigans
Great Halloween, everybody! | The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Late Night Ideas: Daminette Soulmate AU II
Disclaimer: this is in no way related to my other soulmate au.
Basically, everyone is given the first initial of their soulmates' name on their wrist at the age of 12, but only upon touching your soulmate do you get to see their full name.
Think about it.
The boys are doing some recon in Paris, especially after seeing a video sent to the JL, which wasn't taken very seriously. (Side eyeing you Booster Gold.)
Anyways, they explore the city during the day, acting like tourist asking locals for their stories, and even getting some background on LB and CN. All the while, they are unknowingly passing Marinette in each place they go to.
It's pure coincidence, really. Like first time was when they pretended to be interested in getting Damian enrolled in Collège Françoise Dupont. Dick got hungry, and Tim wanted coffee, so naturally, they stopped by Marinette's family's bakery. Dick orders as Marinette's leaving, never really making contact with any of them.
Then, as they are taking a tour of the school and asking questions. Marinette is there hanging out with Adrien, who she's cool with by now. They have more of a best friend/sibling dynamic now.
Then tye next is out an about like them questioning the pigeon guy and Marinette had been their for a while now sketching away. The next a the Louvre and she's hanging out with Alix or something. So on and so forth.
You know the always within proximity but never getting the chance to meet kind thing. That is until Marinette trips or something, and her art supplies falls and it's the Wayne boys help her pick them.
Damian is holding out a few pencils for her. She's not really paying attention and embarrassed over the ordeal. She's just graving and going. Just when you think their hands are going to meet and lock eyes; feeling that click sand seeing each other's name slowly reveal itself, it doesn't happen.
She grabs the ends of the pencils and hurriedly shouts a thanks to the boys as she was in a hurry to get somewhere. Nobody thinks much of it.
Then, later that evening, there's an akuma attack. The boys were out prior to doing some discrete patrol hoping to catch a glimpse of the heros and maybe do get their statements only to be caught in the middle of it.
There is some tension between Ladybuy and Rodin, especially when they had to make a strategic retreat together with the rest. Dick was able to have them set it aside for after they defeated the akuma.
Fun times people. Fun times.
The akuma is defeated. Lucky chatm is cast, things are talked over, negotiations are made, and hand shakes are shared.
Now, because of miraculous magic, it kinda buffs the whole dramatic soylmate meeting scene, but it doesn't stop the name from forming.
When they return to their place of living and get out of costume; both Damian and Marinette are very surprised to see each other's name delicately scribed onto their wrist.
That's all I got, but if anyone wants to run with the idea, then be more than welcome to. Just be sure to give credit.
Helpful and Preventative Stretches for Writers, Artists, and Gamers 💪🎨✍🎮
If you type, write, draw, game, or generally use your hands a lot (especially if you’re prone to RSI or Carpal Tunnel!) try these stretches as both a preventative measure, and on the spot relief. Take care of yourself and your body, friends!
Start with hands up, fingers stretched out. Stretch your thumb as far as you can over your palm. Hold and repeat 4 times.
Touch each finger to your thumb. Hold each for 30 seconds. Repeat on each hand 4 times.
Start with a fist. Open half way, hold for 2 seconds. Stretch fingers out, hold for 2 seconds. Repeat 4 times.
Start with one arm out, palm up. Pull your fingers back with your other hand. Hold for 10 seconds. Do the same with your other hand. Repeat 4 times
Start with arms up, palms out. Bend wrists down until you feel the stretch, but keep your fingers loose. Hold 10 seconds. Bend wrist upwards, until you feel it in your wrist and arm. Hold 10 seconds. Repeat 4 times.
it's that time of year again!
Red Robin: -and that’s that losers.
Chat: [walks in] hey batfam! what’s poppin’?
Spoiler: hey chat! red robin was just bragging about his body count.
Chat: [pauses] like partners or…?
Spoiler: murder
Chat: [oddly brightens up and addresses red robin] oh! so what’s your number?
Red Robin: [shrugs] a few hundreds
Chat: like in one go?
Red Robin: …uh yeah- why are you being so casual about this???
Chat: well with the miraculous cure and all that, almost everyone in the court has ended a life somehow.
Red Hood: well, don’t hold back on my account. spill.
Chat: i know viperion had to remove certain variables to succeed in time loops. maybe a few hundreds for him too?
Signal: it’s always the quiet ones, huh?
Chat: oh yeah! the dragon miraculous is our aoe damage dealer. i don’t think most of the victims recovered after being hit by a bolt of lightning. huh, i always wondered why she always used that one.
Signal: …well, there’s no way my dude carapace could have done damage- he’s like your tank or something, right?
Chat: …
Signal: …. right?
Chat: his shield can shrink….
Signal: ….
Chat: … people inside don’t shrink with it
Signal: jesus
Nightwing: oh, do you! do you!
Chat: [suddenly sheepish] well…
Nightwing: ?? well???
Chat: there was this deleted timeline where i became akumatized and drowned all of paris.
Nightwing: holy shit- that’s like what? millions?
Red Robin: 2 million. damn, are you okay?
Chat: mhmm! ladybug made us all go to therapy.
Robin: … what about her?
Chat: oh! oh. oh….
Red Hood: ???? don’t tell me that tiny thing did more damage than you did! isn’t she like creation and shit??
Chat: no! actually when you think about it, ladybug would be on the same estimate as viperion.
Red Hood: oh, thank fuck!
Chat: multimouse has me beat though.
Red Hood: who??? and how???
Red Robin: [pulls out computer from who knows where] marinette dupain-cheng. temporary hero. was outed in battle-
Spoiler: -oooh pretty-
Red Robin: -powers: dividing into smaller copies, retains original strength. what did she do?????
Chat: it’s not in there but each copy can merge with another miraculous. i think the story goes is that she wore all the miraculous in the mother box and destroyed 3 galaxies including ours.
Everyone: …….
Ladybug: [walks in] hello, everyone! [realizes the tension] errm, what’s wrong?
Robin: [without skipping a beat] is it wise to keep marinette dupain-cheng alive?
Ladybug: [is marinette but they don’t know that] ?????????!!!!!!!!
thought of this after reading that tim freaked out after bruce “died” and blew up a lot of people
Here are some Damian and Talia interactions ideas that you can use in your Daminettes because a lot Daminettes lack (good) interactions between them:
Damian calling Talia before or after patrol
If Damian plays a sport; Talia is at every game or tournament
Damian trying to hide that he has a girlfriend then Talia telling him she already knows
Talia randomly popping up in Gotham and cooking for Damian
Talia calling Damian nicknames:
Here are some nicknames she calls him in canon:
Darling
Baby Bird
My Son
My Love
My Adored
My Beloved
My Heart
Damian asking Talia for advice on his relationship with Marinette
Damian asking Talia for date ideas
Talia spoiling Damian
Damian being affectionate with Talia
At the beginning when I said "(good)" I didn't mean the writing is bad but they write Talia and Damian interactions when Talia is trying to kill Damian and Talia is just plain evil
A cruel prank by your bullies leaves you separated from the rest of the class. Instead of finding your way back, you decide to “go missing” and let the consequences catch up to them.
Bruce: Ah, Damian. May I talk to you for a second?
Damian: What is this about, father?
Bruce: Do you remember Ladybug?
Damian: Yes, she's one of the heroes of Paris, holder of-
Bruce: Yeah, that's who I'm talking about. She's your age.
Damian: Indeed … *slightly confused frown*
Bruce: Sadly she is very adamant about not beeing up for adoption.
Damian: Well, she has more sense than those morons you insist on having as part of the family.
Bruce: *gives Damian a serious look and holds him at the shoulders* Listen, son, you will have to take one for the team. This was your grandmother’s engagement ring, Alfred already arranged a flight for you to Paris and we will have a room ready for you both when you return.
Where is MY Boyfriend(FINAL)

Daminette Corpse Bride AU
Well AU-ish
Original Post
So we left off in the land of the living and learned that Marinette's groom is hoping She's not found so he doesn't have to get his hands dirty.
In comes in either Luka or Felix (whichever fits your preference) as they have known the Dupain-Cheng's for some time.
For drama purposes, they could have romantic feelings for Marinette or you go the platonic love route where they are there to see if her groom is worthy of their friend. (He's definitely not worthy.)
When they arrive, they hear the news bellower shouting out the most recent news while ringing the bell.
"EXTRA! EXTRA! The only daughter of the Dupain-chengs goes missing after disastrous rehearsal!"
That has them booking it to the bakery where both families are sitting together trying to figure out how to find Marinette.
However, they notice that it her groom seems to have no interest in finding her as he seems to be zoning everything out. That pisses them off.
After introductions are made, they ask the groom to walk with them, in the guise of finding and clues as to where Marinette could have gone.
They reach the church and go around back to see if there's anything there, and that when Luka/Felix pin her groom to the wall.
"What the hell is your problem?! Your bride is missing, and you don't seem the least bit worried! Don't you love her?! Marinette is an amazing girl, and anyone would be lucky to have her as their partner!"
"If I didn't know any better I would say you love my bride. If she's such an amazing girl as you say then why don't you marry her?" - The groom
This pisses off Luka/Felix more, resulting in the groom getting a black eye.
Now this seem entertaining to the groom, and now wants to marry Marinette out of spite. Just to rub it in their faces.
Perhaps marriage does has its benefits.
When they get back to bakery, they fawned over Marinette's groom. Which he resumed them the black eye was caused by his own clumsiness.
Luka/Felix really don't like him.
In the land of the dead:
Marinette is honestly kinda terrified, but at the same time living her best life
Ever since spending time with the Wayne family she's seen a change with herself.
She's more outgoing and relaxed around them. Especially with Damian.
She honestly thinks that perhaps if she met Damian when he was alive, she would choose to marry him instead.
Damian and Marinette spend a lot of time together. He discovers her interests, the things that make her laugh, her fears, and the fire that hides within her heart.
When he told of her of his family's demise. She didn't show sympathy but rather angled that someone would do such a thing to them. Especially after learning all the good they did for their community.
It almost looked like she was about to commit murder.
Just when he thought he couldn't fall for her anymore.
Meanwhile his family are spying from a reasonable distance. Some are even hiding in some of the coffins lying around the area.
They are so invested in this relationship. More than they should be.
"I never seen baby bird fall this hard for someone before" - Dick
"Tell me about it. He didn't even show half of the emotion he's showing her to his ex-fiance" - tim
"She could do better." - Jason
"Shut up, Jason" practically everyone in the batfam
"Fuck you!" - jason
Don't get Jason wrong her loves the "demon spawn," and loves Marinette, bit he's a realist.
He's read the vows, and come on, Damian's a dead dude.
"Till death do us part." Dpnes anyone else remember that line? No? Just him? OK then.
He really hates the fact that they are setting themselves for heartache.
One day, Marinette asks Damian why they haven't moved on yet.
He tells her it is because he knew his family was so excited to see him get married, and when it was about to happen, they all died. He wanted to make them proud, and show them that they didn't need to worry about him no more.
"Eell, if you want I could marry you." - Marinette
"I couldn't ask that of you Marinette," - Damian
"But I want to." - Marinette
Damian swears his long since dead heart skipped a beat .
They announce the wedding and Marinette says it will be upstairs.
Everyone is excited.
Cue the scean where everyone is getting ready for the wedding here.
In the land of the living
Everyone is freaking out the dead is brought back to life.
Then, realise they mean no harm. Live relatives get to spend some time with those who have long since passed.
Luka/Felix see Marinette in her wedding dress in the crowd of the dead and can't help but feel a sense of dread wash over them
Her original groom sees the Wayne family with Marinette and can't help but feel fear and anger.
At the church, the ceremony is being held when Luka/Felix come in when they said speek now or forever hold your peace woth her original groom in tow
* insert shocked wedding guests here*
A dual breaks out between luka/Felix between Damian.
Marinette's original groom hold her back to keep her from interfering. He's high-key hoping that Luka/Felix die
Some how they talk it out during the dual and Damian realizes that luka/Felix what the same thing as him; for Marinette to be happy.
He turns to Marinette, and getting a good look at her original groom, he says their name.
"Hello, Damian. It's funny seeing you and your family here when you should all be 6 feet under." - Marinette's original groom, he says, pulling out a knife and holding it up against Marinette's throat.
It is here we find out the Original Groom and his family worked for the Wayne's and where the ones to poison them.
Turns out the original groom was greedy, always wanting what he couldn't have. Thus, he manipulated his family to help him commit murder and steal the Wayne family fortune.
He fights with the Wayne's + Luka/Felix and is able to hold his own.
He tires and gives Marinette up,
congratulating her on having such great mates.
They all glare at him and watch as he drinks from the chalice that Damian told Marinette only he would drink from.
*insert dying noises here*
Everyone dead minus the the Wayne's and Alfred go to give Marinette's original groom a "warm welcome"
Spoiler: it was not welcoming at all.
Marinette hugs luka/felix as Damian watches.
Damian sees she's in good hands and can't help but feel at peace knowing that.
Turing to him, Marinette asks if he still wants to continue the wedding, but he says no.
Little my little he and his family start to turn into butterfly.
Damian then tells her that he no longer wishes to be married bow that he is happy and at peace. It is then revealed that that is why the rest of his family stayed behind.
All they wanted was to finally see him happy.
Marinette gave him a bone crushing hug which he reciprocated, and one by one the rest of his family joined in.
Marinette cries when they all disappeared, and all that was left between her arms was air.
Luka/Felix held her until she felt better.
After the event her original groom's family was held accountable as accomplices to murder.
The Dupain-Cheng bakery saw an influx of customers and were able to expand their business, with the help of Luka/Felix
Marinette happily stays single, and lives out her wildest dreams.
Maybe even adopts in the future
Alternative ending 1:
Marinette and luka/Felix spend more time together after the event
Slowly fall I'm love
Marinette is still able to live out her dreams with a supportive partner.
They get married
Alternative Ending 2:
Rather than moving on Damian and his family come back to live, able to once more walk amongst the living.
"If I had a nick for every time I died and was brought back to life, I'd have two Nicole. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice," Jason
"The first time doesn't count as it was faked," tim
"I'm alive! How many years has it been? Do you think Barbara and Wally are older than me now or..., " Dick, just happy to be alive and able to contact friends.
Duke and Cass are smiling, happy to be alive, and for Marinette and Damian, finally able to be together.
Damian is hugging Marinette happy he is able to hold her in his arms. Happy that he can be with her
Alfred and Bruce have to interupt them, so they can formally meet Marinette's family, and press charges against her original grooms family.
A year later Marinette is walking aboung the aisle with her father.
Luka/Felix is her best man
Damian feels like he's the luckiest man in the world.
Alternative Ending 3:
The boys don't make it on time to object.
Marinette decides she'd rather be with someone eho makes her happy.
He drinks from the Chalice even though Damian tried to talk her out if it.
" I'd rather be with you in death rather than later marry someone who I can not bring myself to feel the way I do when I am with you." - Marinette
"Are you sure this is what you want?" - Damian
Marinette smiles and drinks from the chalice.
When the boys arrive, those of the dead are long gone, and so is Marinette
She and the Wayne's live happily ever after in the afterlife.
The end.

Daminette Corpse Bride AU
Well au-is...
So basically the whole batfam is dead.
Marinette is alive and has to marry some well off dude (could be Adrien if you want).
The thing is the dude she has to marry doesn't wish to be married and has a reputation were all his brides "mysteriously" end up dead/missing.
This does not stop his family from teying to marry him off, and then they find a baker's daughter, aka Marinette, who is of marriage age.
They offer Marinette's parents money and good connections to help their business expand, but they refuse as they would rather have her marry someone she loves.
Marinette having heard the conversation, meets with her family later that evening and tells them she'll go through with it.
Her parents try to talk her out of it, but she assures them it's alright.
She knows that the business isn't as well as use to and it's only a matter of time before they close down shop.
If her getting married means they can continue what they love, then so be it.
Two days later, is when they meet with the family.
Marinette is hella nervous, and almost tripped on air as soon as they passed the entrance.
She somehow gets left behind by the group, and tries navigate her way through the mansion back to the group.
She fails miserablely.
Then she hears the sound of a piano being played and fallows it.
She sees her groom playing it, and feels like she fell in love at first sight.
He stops playing and looks at her.
She becomes a mess. Stumbling over words, intense blushing, etc.
He finds it kind of cute. Too bad he has to kill her. They probably would have been good friends.
He takes her back to the group, and plays nice with the families.
Then it's time for the rehearsal for the wedding.
Marrinette can't even get past the first line without stuttering and looking him in the eye.
Who would honestly want to put poison in his and his family's wine?
She drops the ring at one point, and runs after.
Choas is insured
She runs out of the chapel feeling embarrassed, and into the cemetery.
She the falls into one of the premade holes that was going to be used for the next day for a burial, and is transported to the land of the dead.
There she meets Damian, and of course she's a bit freaked by the well dressed decomposing boy, but they become good friends over the time she is there.
Marineyue meets his family.
She and Jason kick off right away.
Jason: I've only known Marinette for a day, but if anything happened her I would kill everybody here and then myself.
Damian: We're already dead dumbass.
Jason: Then I'd find a way to bring us all back to life and rekill us all.
Tim and Dick: We'd help you that.
Damian: I'm surrounded by idiots.
Bruce and Alfred: (￢_￢;)
Damian tells her he was supposed to get married the day after he and his family died.
Honestly who would want to poison his and his families drink?
Meanwhile in the land of the living:
Marinette's parents try to remain calm
The groom's parents try to be understanding, but can't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
The groom is relieved, and hopes that if anything she isn't found.
That way he doesn't have to get his hands dirty, but he does have a plan to get rid of her just in case.
Tbc (maybe?)
Show!Tikki: Well Marinette its your call, you are the one who is transforming Movie!Tikki: Listen up! I am here to kick ass and eat Macarons, and I am all out of Macarons. I am going to turn you into a mean lean akuma slaying Machine. Now watch me drop this beat!
Another thing that would be totally funny is that Marinette scaring the Riddler about his fashion choice.
---
Scene: Marinette and perhaps the class is in a hostage situation by The Riddler. Instead of being scared Marinette went on a rampage scolding Riddler about his outfit.
Riddler: Welcome to Gotham Frenchies!! I should probably introduce myself, I'm the Riddler and I'm-
Marinette: No.
Riddler: Excuse me?
Marinette: NO! I AM NOT GOING TO BE CAPTURED OR HELD HOSTAGE BY THIS FASHION DISASTER! LOOK AT YOU! *goes forward, judo flips the goons and goes on a warpath to the Riddler who is by now a bit scared by the raging midget French girl.*
Marinette snatch his staff and hit him in the shin. Riddler crumbles to the ground.
Marinette: I MEAN HONESTLY! LOOK AT YOU, YOU ARE AN EYESORE TO SOCIETY! THAT COLOUR THAT HUE URGH! *Proceeds to roughly manhandle Riddler out of his coat and shred them to pieces.* UNACCEPTABLE! TAKE OF YOUR SHIRT!
Riddler: See here little-
Marinette: *uses the Riddler staff's pointy end to impale his throat* Take. YOUR. SHIRT. OFF!
Riddler: meep!
---
The Batfam arrives to a petite french girl ranting about colour coordination and fashion statement while the Riddler (half-naked) takes it while sitting on his knees and shivering from fear.
Batman: what.
Nino: yeah, she be doing that sometimes.
Nightwing: M-miss I think the Riddler gets it.
Marinette: *turns slowly with a murderous glare* you have no room to talk discowing.
Nightwing: meep!
Red hood: Get im!
not to post even more Villains Discourse on main but it really bugs me how people read giving villains tragic backstories as inherently excusing their actions and/or demonizing trauma survivors.
the actual message of Tragic Villains is (almost) always “people who are never taught or given any healthy, constructive outlets for their emotions will often find unhealthy, destructive outlets.” it’s that people who are traumatized and never learn how to cope with that trauma can become a danger to themselves and others. the message isn’t “trauma makes you evil!!!!” or “genocide is okay if you’ve been sad before!!!!” it’s “people need compassion and help to recover from trauma instead of becoming increasingly angry and harming themselves and others in the process.”
this site takes an alarmingly behaviorist and punitive approach to everything and it’s literally the most annoying thing. y’all have this concept that “if we just punish people hard enough, if we just scare them enough, if we just make them feel guilty enough.” that people just Do Bad Things Because They Do Bad Things, I Guess, and Because We Didn’t Threaten Them And Shame Them Enough. but humans are an innately social species. at our very core, we need compassion and kindness. we need healthy relationships with other humans.
you can keep looking at traumatized villains and being like “haha this dumb pathetic sadboi thinks murder is okay because his parents died” but as a survivor myself, unaddressed/untreated trauma absolutely can make you ragey and destructive. i was lucky enough to have support and eventually get the treatment i needed. but it’s not hard at all for me to imagine how, if that hadn’t been the case, that could’ve been me. obviously not on a movie-villain scale like murder or war crimes, but it’s so irritating as someone whose trauma has always manifested as anger to watch people on this site be like “this is just bad writing!!! real survivors/good survivors don’t end up like that the writers just hate survivors and want the audience to condone murder!”
#yea also like. a lot of ‘redemption fantasies’ are really just ‘what if this person got help instead of nothing but shame/harm/punishment’#and that upsets ppl who believe ‘bad’ ppl getting help is *a form of injustice in and of itself*
